E. S. Brun- |elle of the Third Division which would set up regulations for air neportation within the Territory. Inspector Brewster appeared be- fore the Senate this afternoon and explained the Bureau's position and the lack of regulations now on the Territorial statute books. He point- ed out that Alaska has virtually no control over aviation and the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Air Commerce does not cover the sub- ject. The Inspector told the Sena-| tors that there is nothing to keep a pilot from bringinz any kind of | to the Territory, registering | 5 number with the Secretary of| the Territory, and then going out| up any carrying all the passengers and freight he wishes.

In three months trapping during the year 1936, he captured twenty-six wolves and coyotes. Mr. Wadman said: “I have been in conference with various legis- lators this week to raise funds for Predatory Animal Control in Alaska. Wolves have decimated the reindeer herd and have done excessive damage in the McKinley National Park and are definitely on the increase. It is proposed to hire six salaries hunters to work on wolf renegades. It is hoped that the Territory will appropriate money for this work.” Mr. Wadman is leaving Friday on the Dart with his wife and daughter for Kuiu Island where he recently caught seven large wolves.
